Glennan and Glennon distribution in Griffiths'
Valuation 1848-1864

DISTRIBUTION OF NAMES

The maps below show the distribution of the 73 Glennans and
222 Glennons in Griffiths Valuation in the middle of the
19th Century (plotted in GenMap UK). Included are both
county distributions and individual locations. Both
variants are predominantly based in the Midlands. Neither
Glennane (9 in Galway, 1 Limerick, 1 Clare and 1 Roscommon)
or Glynnen (1 Westmeath) are included. For bigger images,

COUNTY DISTRIBUTION

Glennans entries were principally in Meath (23), Roscommon
(16), Galway (13), Offaly (8) and Dublin (5) and Kildare
(3). Single entries are recorded in Antrim, Laois,
Limerick, Tipperary and Westmeath. It will be noted that
entries in Kildare (3 Glennans and 6 Glennons) do not
appear on these maps, due to a problem in the programme.
They do appear in the dot distribution below. Significant
Glennon densities were recorded in Westmeath (56),
Roscommon (47), Dublin (24), Laois (23), Meath (17),
Kilkenny (14), Longford (11), Offaly (7), Galway, Tipperary
and Kildare (6, although the latter not shown). Cavan and
Down had two entries each and Armagh one. So, all in all, a
pretty tight distribution in a band across the middle of
the country in both cases, with some extension to the South
for Glennons.

LOCATION DISTRIBUTION

The actual location of entries for Glennon shows an even
tighter pattern in the Midlands, with the Galway events
mainly being in the west of that county and Tipperary and
Kilkenny in the North. The Glennan pattern is quite
similar, although a Southern extension is not evident. For
a combined plot of Glenn*n, Lenn*n & Glenn*n, see the

Gl*n**n marriages and deaths 1864-1878

The attached files give all Gl*n**n deaths entries in the
Irish GRO indexes 1864-78 (birth years are also included on the basis
of the age given at death - not always accurate!) as well as marriages in that index.
For more details of individuals you will have to get the details
from GRO, Government Offices, Convent Road, Roscommon. What
is required, along with 1.5 euros, for receiving a photocopy extract
(much better than the more expensive certificates) is the:
Christian name, Surname (variant), registration district
(given in the pdf file), year (and for 1878, the quarter)
and the registration district no. and the page number. The latter numbers
are given in the last column of the attached pdf files, but have to
be broken down into the district no. and
the page no. The page no. will normally be the last three
numbers in the column. Where the page no. has less than two numerals,
the number will be formatted differently - look out for the
space. The district will always be the initial one or two
numbers (for instance Dublin is usually 2, but can be 7, 12, 17,
Belfast is normally 1, but can be 16). I would note that there
will be generally more useful genealogical information provided on
marriage certs than on death certs. But also be prepared for a delay in
getting this material (6 weeks for my last batch!).
